“Yeah.”
“That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me,” she said.
“Let’s do this, love,” I said.
I took her hand and we walked through my apartment.
I kicked balloons out of the way.
One bounced off a table and came back at me.
I picked up my left foot and stomped down on it.
It exploded with a bunch of blue confetti shooting across the floor.
Hazel burst into a fit of laughter.
I kicked my foot, shaking away clingy confetti.
“A boy,” I said.
“That’s whatDr. Romesays,” she said, still laughing.
I growled and shook my head.
I led the way to the bedroom with Hazel giggling the entire time.
She sat down on my bed and I went to get the envelope.
Then I sat down next to her.
“Is this okay?” I asked.
“Of course it is.”
“You don’t want to do anything special?”
“Oh, this is special enough, Atlas. I just had five hockey players trying to decorate your apartment.”
“Yeah, I don’t know about that,” I said. “It wasn’t supposed to be like that.”
“It was nice. It was sweet. Now can we do this before I change my mind?”
I handed her the envelope. “You open it.”
“Okay.” She took a deep breath. “Why am I so… anxious?”
“I don’t know. I feel the same.”
“No matter what…”
“Just open it, love.”
Hazel peeled the envelope open and took out the piece of paper.
Folded up with an ultrasound picture in it.
Hazel held up the ultrasound picture.
